The fans put him in a position to succeed on a massive level with his self-made gimmick, but he had nothing to follow it up with and people got bored.

I miss the Hardys too, but neither of those guys is a good idea to rely on in any way, shape, or form in the long-term. Jeff is far too interested in smoking up and far too easily distracted by shiny objects. His last WWE was gold, as was said, but that has a lot more to do with the fact that it was (deliberately) ended before he could do what he ended up doing in TNA. Matt is just too fucked up in the head and I honestly think he is way too bothered by the fact that Jeff gets so much more attention for being exciting and flashy than he gets for being the solid worker with better fundamentals. Part of me doesn't even feel like the V1 gimmick was a work. There is too much of an air of "I'm the best and wah wah wah nobody sees it" from him.
They tried to squash that feud right off the bat before Edge or Hardy did much of anything. That Summerslam match was inexcusable and an example of WWE sour grapes. They wanted to let Matt Hardy know that they do things on their own terms with their own creative ideas, not on his terms with ideas that the WWE didn't create. That could have been such a money feud but money wasn't as important to them as teaching a lesson was.
